Window Sensor Timer: If 10min open, then notification or sound

[sage crag]

I have a Zigbee sensor that allows me to see, if a window is open or not.

Now, how do I create logic, that notifies me when the window is open for longer than X minutes?

[sullen wadi]

you can trigger on the state changing to "open" for 10 mins.

e.g.

[sage crag]

oohohohhoh, okay nice. Where do i find this window?

[sullen wadi]

that is in the automation editor

add a state trigger

[sage crag]

ah thanks.

and then i add an action, right?

[sullen wadi]

yeah

[sage crag]

I have no targets tho

[sullen wadi]

where are you wanting to send the notification?

[sage crag]

On my tablet that is being used as an always-on console

HA is currently open on it

[sullen wadi]

to send messages to a mobile device via the companion app you need to select the specific notification action for that device

[sage crag]

ah okay, what if i want to have HA just make a sound and change the color of the field to a bright red?

Can i send a message on my PC via hass agent?

[sullen wadi]

changing things on the dashboard requires a bit of a different approach depending on exactly how you want it to display.

[sullen wadi]

perhaps, its been a while since i have used hass agent tbh.

[sage crag]

imma see what chatgpt says and if i have some issues, I come back :)

[sage crag]

yeah okay i need some help.

The info from Chatgpt is very outdated.

[sage crag]

🙏 holy moly

i want the notification be send via MQTT tho

into my PC

[mellow badger]

Why mqtt?

https://pushover.net/
is available for PC

You could also set up a discord webhook probably

[sage crag]

cause im already using that for temp and usage readouts

[mellow badger]

I dont think its good for notifications, but if you already found a program/software for ur pc to show the mqtt notifications you can use the MQTT Notify instead of my pushover notification
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/notify.mqtt/

[sage crag]

oh thanks

I use Mosquitto broker

[mellow badger]

But only serverside right? You still need a client to receive those messages

[sage crag]

yeah for client i use HASS.Agent.

i think it can be done way simpler

HASS.agent has some notification configuration

but

I don't know how i can select it in HA

wait

i have actually not restarted HA yet

.....

maybe i should do that

[sage crag]

Does that mean when x and x then do y OR when x or x then do y?

[mellow badger]

you need to use and if, the first stuff is the triggers, then conditions, then actions

[cursive quiver]

Triggers are ORed conditions are ANDed

[sleek bane]

I would remove the From: Closed.
Then if you have a connection issue and it goes Closed>unavailable>Open it will still trigger

[sage crag]

great idea actually
